Solution

The correct option is D A3B4

1 (d)Na in NaCI has eight corner and six face atoms and thus,A in AB also has them. If we remove face centered atom of one axis, then two face atoms are removed. Thus, effective no. of A atoms becomes 3 and B occupies octahedral holes, the effective no. B is 4. Thus, A34 is stoichiometry.
